Background
Little is known to the family about Elerik Taim. His father, Asau, is a third cousin to Trostian Olik, possibly through marriage, and Elerik Taim is also thought to have been born somewhere in Atamara - not Rustton or Abington at all, however. His claim, if any, on the Olik Manor is surely unrecognized by the Abington Oliks.
At a very early age he is thought to have left his place of birth, beginning a years-long journey by ship, horse, donkey and foot, eventually landing in Arcachon in the Far East at the age of 25.
He is now described by others as large, standing well over six feet, broad-shouldered, with hard-chiseled but nonetheless noble facial and personality features. He can be seen wearing a well-worn black travelling cloak and leather leggings and padded tunic.
Somewhere in his mysterious journeying he acquired eighteen followers; fighters as well as commoners, swordsmen and peasant alike, whom he has referred to as The Seekers. They are currently lead by the soldier Varnalo, Elerik's friend. (Just what he, and they, are Seeking was largely unknown, though some of the nobility of Arcachon are privy to the knowledge that he seeks the presence of the divine on earth.) These soldiers fought and died on the mainland, and only a handful remain, still under the command of Varnalo, as militia in Soniel.
Career
Elerik has fought in the three-part Battle of Soniel, during which forces from Ethiala and Lasanar landed on the island in staggered waves in a futile attempt to assault the walls. Earlier, he was part of a raiding expedition on the mainland. The rest of his combat history preceeding his arrival at Arcachon is unknown, but thought to be relatively extensive.
He was made an Initiate of the Adgharhin Priesthood, and was titled Count of Ecsetuah. Later, after the takeover and rebellion of Unotosa, he was made Hand of the Blade, a title which he took to have special meaning: an indication that divine powers now at least partially controlled his physical hand.
Faith
Soon after participating in campaigns against Arcaea on the mainland, he was promoted to Marshal of the Army of Enlod - and was soon captured by enemy forces after an unsuccessful campaign. In the dungeons, he had time to reflect on his ways and decided to dedicate himself solely to the spread of the Adgharhin Way, which became known simply as Adgharhinism.
His newfound faith seemed to be just what he was seeking, and he became a Priest, travelling from region to region, lauding the central deity, Adaghar.
Accomplishments
- Nonbelievers Converted so far: 4,758
- Temples Constructed: 1 Temple in Ecsetuah
- Shrines Built: 1 Shrine, again in Ecsetuah
